I assume Chernogravia is the slavic analogue?
Name of the Kingdom: Ostrovy
Current Ruler: Korol (title) Olav
Dynasty: Komvelovich
Flag:
History: The history of the kingdom is inextricably tied with the history of the sea.
A random storm blew a fleet of Wundish raiders to Ostrov (the Chernogravian island), then filled with anarchic tribes perpetually at each other's throats. The errant raiders showed political brilliance by swooping in to protect weak tribes in exchange for vassalization. When it became clear to their commander, a minor landowner named Konmvel, that he could establish political control here, ships were sent back to the Wund for reinforcements. Soon, the entire island was under his control.
Some generations later, the Wundish people had mostly assimilated into the indigenous population, but their shipbuiling technology and expeditionary spirit lived on. Yaroslav Komvelovich had heard of the legendary wealth of the great southern islands and coveted them deeply. He sent emissaries all over the Wund and Chernogravia spreading the word of his crusade and went deeply in debt hiring mercenaries. His men arrived in such immense numbers and rapidity that the islanders could not effectively resist and so in the course of a month, were largely beaten. Yaroslav's debt was paid off via looted gold and he now possessed the richest veins of gold in the world.
With the Ibalhammin yoke broken, poor freemen from across the "civilized" world (the three northern cultures) flooded into the islands by whatever means possible and began to smelt their living out of the rocks. It is said that Yaroslav's expedition is why the Ibalhammins hate the east and snow.
Traits:

~Ships
~Seaworthy

Flaws

Claim on the map: The one up is accurate.

Don't have access to image software, but I think I can describe what I want,
There is huge bay south of Arlais. I want the islands in it.Then there are two islands west of the massive peninsula north of Affayqid. I want the northernmost as a trade post.

I'm not going to lie: you seem to so often shift thoughts so often in mid-sentence I can't help but feel brain jacked and confused. Could you clean it up?
New sheet cool?
Also, sheet updated
Need for proof obviated. Well-known royal was crowned.
To be sure, the monarchy doesn't matter anymore, but to our gents in the Royal Navy a year after the calamity, returning to normal is of paramount importance. Having a king 200+ years after is irrelevant. I'm just explaining why and what thought went through their heads 2078 such that there is still a king. Rightly or wrongly, in 2078 they thought they needed a king for the reasons described.
